Overview

About 17a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

17a is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 6EE). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good.

Held since July 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 369.7% above the 2001 sale of £51,732. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 62.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 42 m² it's 19.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (52 m² median across 59 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17a is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6EE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 17a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 17a was lodged in May 2024 at band C and is valid until May 2034. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 17a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 6EE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
